{Source: B.A. LL.B. (Hons) students & alumni}After analyzing the reviews and feedback from students and alumni, here's a summary of the key points:Teaching Quality and Faculty* Teachers are not entirely helpful, and it may take luck to get a qualified teacher in a semester.* Most professors are friendly, approachable, and have extensive experience teaching law students.* However, some teachers can be strict and overconfident.Course Curriculum and Infrastructure* The course curriculum covers the UPSC syllabus and prepares students for practical applications.* Air-conditioned classrooms and modern infrastructure make studying comfortable.* The library is well-stocked, and the online library provides access to paid legal databases.* The hostel is available for girls, while boys live off-campus due to limited space.Internship Opportunities and Placement* Internships are not mandatory, but attending internships can enhance skills and build networks.* Few top legal firms offer internships, and students with strong CVs tend to secure these opportunities.* Placements are limited, especially for law graduates, and most students pursue higher studies.Campus Life and Extracurricular Activities* Campus life is minimal, with no notable festivals, extracurricular activities, or sports teams.* However, the college organizes occasional events like moot courts, MUN, and NCC/NSS activities.Overall WorthinessBased on the feedback, pursuing B.A. LL.B. (Hons) at TNDALU Chennai might not be ideal for everyone. While the college offers decent infrastructure and some faculty strengths, its limitations in terms of teaching quality, internship opportunities, and campus life might deter some students. However, those interested in law and willing to adapt to the college's environment might still consider applying.
